Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 9, 1908.

Application filed. November 15, 1906. Serial No. 343,482.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANCIS A. MOR- nrsolv, a citizen of United States, and resident of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have in= vented a certain new and useful Ticket- IIolder, of which the following is a specification.

The principal object of the present invention is to provide a comparatively inexpensive, compact and attractive holder for tickets which when in the form of coupons may be easily removed singly and accurately separated from the others by means of the holder.

To this and other ends hereinafter set forth the invention comprises the improvements to be presently described and finally claimed.

The nature and characteristic features of the invention will be more fully understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, and in which Figure 1, is a perspective view of the holder. Fig. 2, is an elevational view illustrating how a single ticket may be separated from the others, and Fig. 3, is a perspective view of a portion of a holder embodying a modification of my invention.

T he holder may be constructed from a single piece of material, as metal aluminum being well adapted for the purpose.

In the drawings 1, is a plate that should conform in lineal dimensions with one of the tickets.

2, are ears or clips turned upward and inward from the plate 1, and their inturned portions are arranged at a height above the plate sufficient to receive between their under faces and the plate, a number of tickets other.

in coupon form and folded one upon the In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the ears or clips 2 are of the spring wire variety.

3, are notches formed in the plate and they accommodate the fingers when the latter are used to turn up the top ticket from the pile and free of the clips 2.

4:, are edges upturned from the plate 1, and they afford a support on which the top ticket can be severed from the remaining tickets as indicated in Fig. 2.

It will be understood that in taking off the tickets they will beturned up and severed first along one of the upturned edges 4, and then along the other upturned edge. In putting the tickets into the holder, it is only necessary to fold the strip of them one upon another and insert the folded strip beneath the ears 2.

What I claim is:

A ticket holder consisting of a plate provided at one pair of opposite sides with notches formed in the plate itself for the accommodation of the fingers and with projecting edge walls facing one face of the plate and notched in correspondence with the notches of the plate and constituting supports on which to detach tickets and said plate provided at the other pair of o posite sides with ears or clips which overlie end portions of the above mentioned face of the plate to receive beneath it folded coupon tickets, substantially as described.

.In testimony whereof I have, hereunto signed my name.
